Halloween is Over :( and some Fun Finds :)

This is how I feel about putting away a butt load of Halloween crap.

But this is how I feel about the next holiday I care about! Ok he's not the happiest looking Santa but you catch my drift! And yes I know Thanksgiving is technically the next holiday but who cares. I'll  throw out all my Gurley turkey candles and call it a day. Plus, I usually work on Thanksgiving so I don't really celebrate it too much. I'm not working this year but plan on using my knee as my excuse to not cook. I hate to cook. That's why you are reading a VINTAGE blog, not a COOKING blog. Anyhoo, bad knee and all I managed to GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS HOUSE for a few hours. (Small case of cabin fever) In hindsight it wasn't a good idea because my knee hurt like hell AND started to bleed a little. The things we do for junk :)

What did I find you ask? Well first I wanna show you that big thing I told you about in my last post. 

My new vintage enamel top table! In white and green! My favorite colors! Ok, I'll stop with the exclamation points but check this beauty out...

Sorry about all the rando crap on it. And the dark picture. It's in my basement. Also a few months ago I was at an antique store and found this green vintage cabinet top. Guess what just happened to fit perfectly on top of my table and match? 

That's right, like PB&J they go together. They go together like ramma lamma lamma ka dinga ka dinga dong! (That's a Grease song for all you youngun's) 

So I had my desk, with a perfect top, I just needed a chair. Cuz the one I had was black, plastic and fugly. Of course I found one at the thrift! Did you really have to ask? 

5 bucks! Can't beat that with a stick. I'm not groovin on that yellow color but I am going to attempt to make a slipcover for it. I mean, I can sew a pillow so how hard can it be? Hahaha! (Mom? I may need your help). It is LITERALLY the most comfy chair I have ever sat on. Plus I can get out my vintage typewriter and pretend I'm a secretary on Mad Men. 

Now, onto this weekends finds (and hopefully nobody from my work reads this blog ;)) 

I thought this pillow was soooo cute! The front is embroidered and the back looks like barkcloth. But if you look real close at the top picture do you notice anything? Some snot nosed brat wrote his name GLENN on the pillow. Now I imagine that that name was written on that tea towel for a long time. Because who names their kid Glenn anymore? (And if you did, my apologies) and I imagine that little Glenn got a whoopin from his mama for writing on her tea towel. Because back when this thing was originally made, people still gave their kids whoopins. Right or wrong, I ain't judging. Just how my mind wanders :)

I also got this santa candy holder. Again, breaking my rule for NOT buying anymore vintage Christmas but I couldn't help myself! I need a Vintage Christmas Annonymous 12 step program.  Cuz I may need help :) 

And that's it! Shocking I know. But as soon as I'm moving better you know I'll make up for lost time. Have a great week!
